DÉSENCHANTÉE
« Nothing has any meaning anymore, nothing is right, everything is chaos » Nothing better describes the emotion that William wanted to transcribe in this collection than the lyrics of the song Désenchantée by the French artist Mylène Farmer. A feeling of decay, as if everything was hanging by a thread, an image of the end of the world and fallen glory. To enhance its effect, William used solid oak which he textured to the extreme, burning and brushing it numerous times. The uneven and marked rendering gives the sensation that the piece has lived many lives and that it has just been discovered. The bronze feet, as always hand-sculpted, and gradient give the impression of floating and bring a certain tension to the whole.
